Good company, not sure of the future.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company with very good benefits and decent pay. Most employees are hard working and good to work with. Management for the most part is OK.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities. Seems to be having limited success with their growth strategies, so the future of the company is murky.

Culture of hierarchy slows innovation

Business Outlook

Pros

New CEO who knows the employee benefits business, which the US firm has staked its future on. Open to data analytics and innovation from designated individuals.

Cons

Firm has staked its future on voluntary benefits, but has few innovative products to break into a market dominated by industry leaders. Low salaries, inconsistent meritocracy, few innovative employee benefits products, few industry leading divisions except stop-loss and international. Corporate culture is so top down and job security is so tenuous due to the new CEO, cost cutting goals, adn constant reorganization that there is no room for the needed culture of firm-wide innovation that would help insure success.

Financial Advisor Interview: A formal meeting with the Sales manager. Very general questions were asked.

Business Outlook

Pros

A very simple introduction, nothing like a serious interview. An online career profile was given to do. It took some time, next day I got a call from Co. that I passed my career profile and need to see them next day for my initial interview.

Cons

You have to clear your licence exam and invest a decent amount of money before start earning. Your pay checks will be based on your sales. This position is not for every one.
